Our Marketing Group vs. Metheney Consulting
"The difference between Metheney Consulting and Our Marketing Group is: if you need a single project, Metheney Consulting is more affordable. If you need long term help with your marketing, Our Marketing Group is much more cost effective. It's the same 30 years of marketing and management expertise, but by signing a longer term contract, we are able to give clients substantial rate discounts because it guarantees billable hours we can use to fill in around our higher rate projects. " quoted president and senior consultant, Paul Metheney. "Everybody wins. We get more billable hours (albeit at much lower rates), and they get professional marketing resulting in higher sales."
Typical tasks include optimizing clients sites for better search engine rankings, developing and executing pay per click advertising, developing CRM systems for prospect management, customizing and managing email campaigns, and scheduling a marketing plan and calendar of coordinated social media posts.
